Family Practices, Law and the Construction of Differences. (15th- t19h centuries). DEROUET. Should one look to the regional diversity in private law under the Old Regime to explain the variety of family practices in France during this period ? These two forms of diversity, however, cannot be entirely superimposed nor do they correspond term for term. In reality, the difference between law and social practices cannot simply be understood in terms of respect for or transgression of specific norms, but in terms of the categories which the law uses to formalize these practices, make sense of them and confer upon them certain legitimacy. Several examples show that certain kinds of law, with the same basic principles, were able to serve in cases of strikingly different family practices. The relationship between these two levels less problem of direct reflexion or influence but that of translation.
